Transverse single-spin asymmetries to probe the transverse-spin structure of the proton have been measured for neutral pions and nonidentified charged hadrons from polarized proton-proton collisions at midrapidity and root s = 200 GeV. The data cover a transverse momentum (pT) range 1.0-5.0 GeV/c for neutral pions and 0.5-5.0 GeV/c for charged hadrons, at a Feynman-x value of approximately zero. T
While Raman spectroscopy provides opportunities for simultaneous detection and quantitative analysis of multiple species, it also suffers from certain limitations, such as low signal strength, which often makes it unsuitable for the study of minor species. The present work employs a high-repetition-rate and high-power laser and re-introduces an amplification technique to improve the detection limi
Background: Liver disease in Cystic Fibrosis (CFLD) is an early complication of CF. Evidence of CFLD is often subclinical and screening is recommended. Screening includes a biochemical work-up and an ultrasound investigation. Non-invasive methods measuring liver stiffness such as shear wave elastography could be beneficial. This study describes the use of 2D Shear Wave Elastography (2D SWE) in scr
Variations in galactic cosmic rays reaching the Earth's atmosphere produce globally synchronous variations in the production rates of cosmogenic radionuclides. In consequence, they leave their imprint in tree-ring 14C and ice-core 10Be records. By identifying this signal and correcting for the known geochemical influences on the radionuclides, it is possible to compare and synchronize the tree-rin
A search for the weak production of charginos and neutralinos decaying to a final state with three leptons (electrons or muons) and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis uses 2.06 fb(-1) of root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded with the ATLAS detector. Observations are consistent with standard model expectations in two sign
When solutions of two different polymers are mixed, phase separation often occurs even at low concentrations of polymers. One polymer usually collects in one phase and the other polymer in the other phase. When water is used as solvent, two aqueous, immiscible, phases are obtained. The same holds for aqueous mixtures of a salt and a polymer. Such aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) are very useful fo
Previous studies of mid-Ordovician limestone in Sweden have shown that over a stratigraphic interval representing a few million years there is a two orders-of-magnitude enrichment in fossil L-chondritic meteorites (empty set = 1-21 cm) and sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial chromite (EC) grains (>63 mu m). This has been interpreted as a dramatic increase in the flux of L-chondritic matter to Eart
Background: Short children born small for gestational age (SGA) are treated with growth hormone (GH) dose based on body size, but treatment may lead to high levels of IGF-I. The objective was to evaluate IGF-I titration of GH dose in contrast to current dosing strategies. Methods: In the North European Small for gestational age study (NESGAS) 92 short pre-pubertal children born SGA were randomised
Pathogens that are maintained by wild birds occasionally jump to human hosts, causing considerable loss of life and disruption to global commerce. Preliminary evidence suggests that climate change and human movements and commerce may have played a role in recent range expansions of avian pathogens. Since the magnitude of climate change in the coming decades is predicted to exceed climatic changes
Background and Purpose: In this multicentre phase I-II trial we evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of capecitabine and oxaliplatin followed by the combination of these two drugs with radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced pancreatic or biliary tract cancer. Material and methods: Thirty-nine patients with inextirpable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, gallbladder or extrahepatic bile duct
Human galectin-4 is a lectin that is expressed mainly in the gastrointestinal tract and exhibits metastasis-promoting roles in some cancers. Its tandem-repeat nature exhibits two distinct carbohydrate recognition domains allowing crosslinking by simultaneous binding to sulfated and non-sulfated (but not sialylated) glycosphingolipids and glycoproteins, facilitating stabilization of lipid rafts. Cr
Precise geochronology, combined with paleomagnetism on mafic intrusions, provides first-order information for paleoreconstruction of crustal blocks, revealing the history of supercontinental formation and break-up. These techniques are used here to further constrain the apparent polar wander path of the Kaapvaal Craton across the Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic boundary. U-Pb baddeleyite ages of 2441
BACKGROUND: The International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids (IOI-HA) is a seven-item hearing-specific questionnaire. It was developed with the purpose of evaluating the efficacy of hearing aid rehabilitation. Few psychometric properties have been presented for a Swedish translation of the IOI-HA. Furthermore, previous studies have examined the IOI-HA in mainly sensorineural hearing losses, an
Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om religionsfriheten i 2 kap. 1 § första styck-et 6 regeringsformen (RF) borde omformuleras till en relativ rättighet. Den positiva religionsfriheten i RF är idag reglerad som en absolut rättighet, alltså en rättighet som inte får inskränkas, och beskrivs i lagtexten som frihet att ensam eller tillsammans med andra utöva sin religion. I förarbetena anges dock att relThe purpose of this essay is to examine whether the freedom of religion found in the 2 chapter 1 § in the Instrument of Government should be rephrased as a relative right (a right which can be restricted). Today, the positive right of the freedom of religion is regulated as an absolute right which means it can’t be restricted. In the Instrument of Government, it is described as freedom to exercise
Inkomsttaxeringen är företrädesvis en suverän angelägenhet för den svenska riksdagen. Medlemskapet i den europeiska unionen har emellertid begränsat denna suveränitet och lagstiftaren måste numera beakta de krav som fördragen föreskriver. Detta har medfört att den nationella skatterätten ibland kolliderar med unionsrätten och måste åsidosättas. Kupongbeskattningen av utdelningar till utländska offThe taxation of income is primarily a sovereign matter for the Swedish parliament. The Swedish membership in the European Union has however circumscribed the legislative capacity and the legislator is nowadays bound by the demands of EU law. This has resulted in potential conflicts between internal tax law and EU law. An example of an aforementioned conflict is the Swedish withholding taxation of
En fortskridande teknisk utveckling har inneburit större möjligheter att exploatera upphovsrättsligt skyddat material i den digitala miljön. En teknik som särskilt har uppmärksammats är kreativ artificiell intelligens, som kan användas för att generera nya litterära eller konstnärliga verk. Förfogandet innebär emellertid att många upphovsrättsligt skyddade verk utnyttjas under inlärningsprocessen The technology is evolving in a rapid pace and there are endless possibilities to exploit copyright-protected material in the digital environment. As artificial intelligence develops to be more autonomous, the phenomenon is one of the hot topics in copyright law today. Creative AI can be described as “creative” machines that can be used to generate new literary or artistic outputs. This thesis aim
The decision by the European Union to enforce the Temporary Protection Directive to respond to the inflow of Ukrainian displaced people in member states has resulted in a peculiar governance system that sets Ukrainian displaced people as an exceptional category of vulnerable migrants. Their stay is temporary, but as it is impossible to predict a date for Ukraine to be deemed a safe country again,
Sustainable development requires companies to do their part. Managers are central to the partaking of sustainability in their organizations, having responsibility towards internal and external stakeholders to ensure the organization's long-term survival while being mindful of other things than maximizing profit. SMEs face additional challenges than their multinational counterparts making it mo
